Re: Repository Shutdown

Jorg,
shutdownAll() should be called only when the whole application ends. The 
best way to delete a previously loaded model is to delete the whole 
extent containing the model (using refDelete()) and recreating the 
extent again.
So, your loadModel() method could do something like this:

RefPackage modelExtent = repository.getExtent("modelExtent");
if (modelExtent != null) {
     // delete the extent if it already exists
     modelExtent.refDelete();
}
modelExtent = repository.createExtent("modelExtent", ...);
... // load model into the modelExtent

Hopefully this helps.
